## **PEBBLES PRE-SCHOOL AND DAY CARE** ## **MINUTES OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING** ## **Wednesday 12[th] November 2025** ## **Pebbles Nursery 7 pm** **Present** : Holly Gilman – Chairperson Nicola Flemming – Treasurer Karen Sims – Secretary Jo Neave – Manager Cassi Stubbs Hazel Rayner Emily Bodell Faye Bacon ## 1. Chairperson’s Welcome Holly opened the meeting by welcoming Hazel, Emily and Faye as prospective new committee members. Pat Spencer has now stepped down as a Trustee after many years of valuable help to the committee and setting. ## 2. Minutes of previous A.G.M. and maters arising The Minutes of last year’s A.G.M. were agreed as a true record and were signed by the Chairperson. There were no matters arising. ## 3. Financial Report As we look back at the year of April 2024-April 2025 I am pleased to say we have seen the setting end on a positive financial position. The Setting saw in 2023-2024, requirements for equipment, end on a deficit, this financial year has seen the setting thrive to not only pull this deficit back but to also end well into the Black. This balance reflects how the setting has settled since the changes in personnel and the essential equipment that was required. It also speaks volumes for the setting that a great intake of children who have joined and remain with the setting, have added to the funding that has allowed there to be a real balance and push on Budgeting, Forecasting to assist with this financial position. Since this date the accounts have continued to show strength and there are new financial steps and processes being put in place between the setting and the committee to assist with this. Wish lists – allowing each room to focus on what is needed, what would be nice and feeds into Budgeting and Forecasting as well as forward planning that could see the setting being able to seek better financial deals on essential equipment. I look forward to processing this further with the setting over the coming year focusing on these elements as well as Contract renewals to ensure the setting receives the very best offers available to them. _Nicola Flemming – Treasurer_ ## 4. Setng Report ## **Staffing** Since last year’s AGM Rebecca has been promoted to Senior Lead (focussing on the PreSchool section) and moved from the baby room to the Cove, completing her Designated Safeguarding Lead Training recently. Emma Jones, Kellie Briggs and Sharnel Stenning were all hired in January on temporary positions and have since been given permanent positions. Emma Jones has been promoted to Key Person, Laura Fountain made her way back to her familiar ground in the baby room and Ruth Gunn has moved to the Rockpool room. Each Key Person has been specifically chosen for the age that they really flourish in and this is showing in the progress that each child is making throughout the rooms. In September we hired Harriet Middleton as an Early Years apprentice and she has fitted in well with our other staff members. The team has expanded and is thriving. We are still awaiting the return of a staff member on long term sick leave and have recently had another member of staff on sick leave, however this staff member is expecting to return shortly. We have welcomed two wonderful volunteers, Molly who joins us for an hour weekly for her Duke of Edinburgh Award and Kayleigh who joins us for two afternoons whilst she is completing her childcare qualification. Both ladies have been incredible and it has been lovely to watch them both flourish in their confidence at the setting. We have also welcomed Dawn to complete her Forest School placement with us earlier this year. Dawn was a wonderful addition to the Forest School group and brought some amazing ideas for Lainey to put into place. ## **Training** Rebecca has completed her SENDCO Level 3 qualification. I have completed my Health and Safety Management refresher, Risk Assessment refresher, Children and Domestic Violence training, Designated Safeguarding Lead refresher and am due to start my Step On lead training in December. This will allow me to then deliver the training to the whole staff team on our January training day. Nishel, Elaine and Hannah have completed their Designated Safeguarding Lead refreshers and Pip and Rebecca have completed their Designated Safeguarding Lead initial training. All other staff are currently updating the safeguarding training since the requirements have changed from refreshers every 3 years to every 2 years. Nicole completed her level 3 Early Years Practitioner apprenticeship, moving on to be an Early Years Assistant in the baby room. A group of staff members completed their First Aid training at the beginning of this year and we hosted 5 other staff members from Suffield Park. We also have 3 staff members and our volunteer Kayleigh completing the First Aid training tomorrow in setting which will then be all staff members First Aid trained. Sharntel and Emma Jones both completed their Level 2 Childcare qualifications. Emma Jones and Emma Hamilton have begun their Level 3 qualifications and Kellie and Sharntel plan to start their Level 3’s in February. Jo and Helen attended nutrition for early years training and this was reported back to the team about the importance of this in the setting. This has led to some changes in policies and our snack time, more snack is being prepared and cooked by the children themselves. We are all enjoying trying our new snacks! Rebecca has completed her Communication Champion 6 week training course and is booked on to complete her developing language through play for children with EAL training. All staff attended a meeting run by Hannah regarding a specific medical condition following a meeting with the nurse so that we could welcome and support a new child into the setting. All new staff are working their way through the extensive core training that we implement at Pebbles. ## **Fundraising** We were awarded some money for the expansion of our funding offer and this money was ringfenced to support this. We used this money to develop the baby room and Harbour rooms with all resources having been ordered and almost all have arrived. We are excited to say that our flooring is finally being done, starting next week. This is with funds that have been granted by the Council and although the next two weeks will come with hiccups and lots of moving things around we are very excited that the setting will look wonderful when this is finished. It will certainly be a lot easier to clean up the sand, playdough, lunches and paint from the new hard floor as opposed to the current carpet! We are currently applying for grants for our children’s bathroom to be renovated and refurbished, including turning the main toilet in the foyer into two cubicle toilets for the Rockpool and Island room children. These will cost a lot of money, but we are hopeful that a grant will be secured. ## **The Setting** We have been thoroughly enjoying our visits to our Grandfriends at Munhaven, including taking the younger children during the half term holidays. This has provided some great opportunities of learning and compassion for the children and we are looking to continue this well into the future. At the end of the last scholastic year we closed our stay and play group due to low numbers, mainly because most of the children had then signed up to Pebbles and were attending the setting. The setting has welcomed many new children over the past year and we are looking forward to welcoming many more in the near future. Our enquiries and waiting list folder is a great size with some children even booked in for January 2027. In Spring we enjoyed a walk in Bacton Woods providing a lovely opportunity for parents and children to meet up outside of the setting. Thank you to all that attended, we are looking forward to planning some more get togethers soon! We hosted our ‘End of Pebbles’ celebration for our school leavers in July and all had a wonderful time together. We have since begun to build a stronger relationship with the school next door and have a great plan in place for this years transitions. We have also been invited to attend the schools nativity dress rehearsal for our children who are leaving. We also hosted funding nights to complete children’s funding forms with parents. This was so much easier for administration and allowed us to apply for our funding swiftly, thank you to all families who attended! We have recently had a visit from our IDW with Norfolk Early Years to complete a review which all went well. Robyn was very excited about the new layout of the setting and loved her walk around. She particularly loved the development of the side garden which has recently had a big makeover including the use of a digger. The children have been having the best time in this garden with the Rockpool room mainly using it and then other rooms having small sessions out there. This is where we will be holding our forest school sessions since our TOCA with the school ended and these planned sessions will start up again for our school leavers next Tuesday morning. Tomorrow we are due a visit from the Wrap Around Team at Norfolk County Council to assess how our wrap around provision is going. We have been acknowledged and used as a case study for other settings due to the provision and flexibility that we provide for children with SEND during wrap around and school holidays. Our bookings for these are also thriving. ## **Committee** I cannot finish my report without saying a massive thank you to Holly Gilman, our currently Chair, who is stepping down this year. Holly has supported the setting immensely often going above and beyond to make the setting what it is today. Holly has been one of the main drivers for the settings ethos and the nurturing and warm vibe that our families get at the setting. Holly has always had the best interests of the Pebbles family, including our little ones, family members, committee and staff members at the heart of what she does from her wonderful ultra challenges fundraising to sitting at Pebbles for hours scanning the barcodes of many books to be sold online. We wish her all the best in her next adventure and hope that she uses the time that she would have otherwise put into Pebbles to do something for herself because someone that amazing truly deserves some self-love. Thank you all for another amazing year developing the setting even more. I often wonder if my plans for the next year could be as big as this years! Either way, I’m really looking forward to it! _Jo Neave - Manager_ ## 5. Chairman’s Report It is a bittersweet moment to be delivering my final report as Chairperson for Pebbles. After seven years on the committee, I am both sad to go but also excited for Pebbles to be led with fresh eyes and a fresh perspective. For me the standout theme of the previous year has been a renewed enthusiasm for learning and development amongst staff and it is great to see that not only are our staff finishing exams and qualifications but feeling excited and motivated by each other to take on their own challenges and qualifications even where they had previously felt they weren’t able to. Learning and development has long been a passion of mine and I feel it also signifies a tuning point in where the setting is today compared with a couple of years ago. From reflecting on my previous years’ reports, it seemed we were continually fighting against the latest “issue” or “circumstance” and perhaps that filtered down to staff morale, and learning and development was limited to requirements more than desire. The enthusiasm that we are seeing today I hope reflects how far the setting has come since the pandemic. This also allows us to meet another goal that I hold close to my heart, which is offering apprenticeships and work-based learning to young people in our community. The more Level 3 qualified staff we have among our existing employees the higher the likelihood that we can offer apprenticeships for young people who do not get on with traditional classroom-based education systems whilst maintaining our child to qualified adult ratios. I will not impose goals on the new Chairperson but as a committee I think that the work we have started on moving to more digital ways of collaborating is going to be a massive improvement for future committee work and making it easier for new committee members to get involved. As such I think this should be a key area of focus going forward. Thank you so much for your dedication to Pebbles and also, on a more personal note thank you for your help over the last year, taking on extra work, as I have navigated busy personal circumstances. _Holly Gilman – Chairperson_ Everyone is sorry to see Holly step down from the committee and thanked her for all the hard work she has put in during her seven years. ## 6. Electon to Positons Chairperson Nicola Flemming was unanimously voted in to this position. The new Committee is: Chairperson Nicola Flemming Treasurer Nicola Flemming Secretary Karen Sims Committee Members Cassi Stubbs Nicola will continue as Treasurer until a new Trustee comes forward. ## 7. Ofsted Holly will contact Ofsted to confirm she is stepping down and that Nicola is taking over. ## 8. Fund Raising for 2026 The next fund raising event will be a children’s Christmas party on Saturday 6[th] December starting at 10 am. It is hoped to have a cake sale, visit from Santa, craft tables and raffle. The setting has been selected by Barton House Railway as its chosen charity for 2026. We will take part in the Mundesley Lifeboat Day during August. The committee will look into running a May fete and try to organise quiz/bingo evenings during the Spring and Autumn. ## 9. Any other business - a. A grant application has been submitted for Community Funding from North Norfolk County Council. - b. It was suggested that we contact North Walsh Community Shop as they have grants available. - c. The setting will organise a visit from the Hedgehog rescue centre. ## 10.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Turnover Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods supplled and services rendered, nel of discounts and Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of own8rship have transferred to the buyer (usually on despatch of the goods),. the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. it Is probable that th8 associated economic benefits will flow to the entity. and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. Taxation The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period, Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except lo the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves. I n this case, tax is recognised in olher comprehensive income or directly in capital and reserves, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profil for the currenl and past periods. Current tax is measured al the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tsx rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporfing date, Deferred tax is recognised in r&spect of all timing drfferences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that It is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revalustion less any subsequent accumulaled depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an assel as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and res&rves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised In profil or loss, A decrease in the carrylng amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in oth6r comprgh6nsive income lo the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in Gapital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation d8crease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that ass8t, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of Ihat asset as follows: Plant and machinery Fittings fixtures and equipment 25 1 /D reducing balance If there is an indication that there h8s been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation 18 revised prospectively to reflect the new 8Stimales. Impairment A review for Indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the assel is impaired accordingly. Prior impairmenls are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an indivldual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amounl of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Stocks Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimalsd selling price less costs to complete and sell, Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
